Re: Which bullet in M-1 Garand? Widener's has M2 bullets if interested. http://www.wideners.com/itemdetail.cfm?item_id=8979&dir=278|281|1081|1161

Re: Purchased Bushnell Legend 1200 ARC Has anyone been able to use one out to say 800-1000 on non-reflective stuff? If it would range (dark green) trees out that far I'll probably get one also. Midsouth has them for $308 or so.

Re: Issues with my Savage 10FP I've got a couple of Savages. My .308 never gave me any problems, but my .223 drove me nuts. Didn't matter what the trigger pull was set to, the trigger would lock up at least 10-15% of the time. Lost a lott of confidence in the rifle. Put a SSS competition...

Re: savage mod 10 .308 As far as the accu-trigger. I've got a 10FP in .308 and a Model 12 in .223. I was having a lot of problems with the .223 trigger - lots. Put a SSS trigger on and it was so much better the 10FP just had to have one as well. Great upgrade. I shoot of sandbags, but if...

Re: Twist rate required for 7mm 162gr Amax? I'm thinking of a Savage LA in 7mmRM or possibly a Remington Sendero. The Savage has a 9.5 twist. Their short action 7mm-08 rifles come with a 11.5 twist. The Sendero comes with a 9 twist/26" long barrel, while the Savage comes with a 24". After...

Thinking about adding a 7MM to the collection. What does the Hornady 162gr. Amax need?

Re: Savage 12 LPRV 1:9 twist .223 proven loads In my Savage 12, 26.0 of Varget with a 69gr SMK @ 2.260 works well. Can't get the 75gr AMAXs to shoot that well, either. I also load a Nosler 50gr (orange tipped 250ct bulk pack) with 25.5 of AA2230 and it shoots good. Just as good out to 300...

Re: Ruger 77 .30-06 Load I believe the Ruger's are 1/12 twist. I've got one and use a 168gr Amax over 50.0grs of IMR4064 at 3.240 col. 5 shot groups at 200 yards average 3". Nothing special, but it works for a light barrel hunting rifle. I've also had success with my Garand load out of...

Re: Anybody got a load for a Savage 10FP .308? 45.0 Varget 168gr SMK BHA cases 210M Primer 2.810 col Same as above with 175 SMK over 44.0 Varget 168gr AMAX with 42.5 Varget at 2.830 col.

Re: Help? First Gun. Have you factored in the cost of ammo to this? You'll need to be shooting match grade ammo if you're serious. About $1.50 a round, unless you reload -which I highly recommend. Stick with .308 for now. Remington or Savage with a Super Sniper will do just fine...

Re: 8lb Varget and IMR 4895 in stock NOW! My Varget on the way now also. Think I'll forget about woking up a 4064 load for the 308 now.

Re: 8lb Varget and IMR 4895 in stock NOW! I ordered up some Varget when I saw this, thanks. Did it this morning around 10:30, surprised they still have some at 9:00pm.

Re: Hornady A-Max Bullets I've been using the 168gr. Amax in my Savage Model 10 as well. 42.5 Varget 210M BHA cases 2.825 oal

Re: where is the Varget?? I ordered 8lbs today when I was in at Cabelas. They didn't have any idea when it would actually arrive. I've got enough now to last me a while, but I think I'm going to work up an alternate load with IMR4064. Fortunately, I have plenty of that for now. I really...

Re: How many rds. do you go through a week/month ? I've got heavy barreled Savages in .308 and .223. I put just over a 1000 rds of .308 and about 1200-1500 of .223 through them last year. They pretty much stay in the safe Dec-Mar. The only way I can afford it is to handload my own...
